Why do people puke or get nausea from weed?

[TheMetal1]

I've always found that one of the best all-purpose anti-nausea meds around is Dramamine (generic name dimenhydrinate).

I've never been able to fly without it :thumbsup:

Although, I now have some pretty heavy duty stuff for nausea... so it's almost physically impossible for me to vomit. :stoned:

It sounds strange, but breathing control and concentration can really help stop nausea too. I used to close my eyes and act like I was either pulling or pushing the sickness out of my stomach. Yeah... I might look nuts when doing it, but nausea can be mental as much as physical. Anxiety, which can be a side effect of Cannabis, coupled with pre-existing stress can make for a trembling stomach for sure.

The brain is a powerful thing.... when you're :jointsmile:

If possible, always try to get your bud from a trusted source.

There's so much floating around out there that you have no idea how it was grown, what kinds of fertilizers and chemicals were used, or how well that stuff was flushed from the plant prior to harvest.

Smoking nasty chemicals could definitely make anyone feel ill and puke after too many bowls of it. Kinda scary to think about it actually. How many toxic chemicals have you consumed from the mystery buds you buy on the street? There are no standards for quality control. Consume at your own risk unless it is from a reliable source.

^^^Destiny has a good point.
If you cruise around the grow forums at sites that encourage/support cashcropping discussions, you will see an OUTRAGEOUS number of posts asking how to find Floramite, Avid, and Physan... None of which are approved for food crops nearing harvest!!!! I'll bet if we ever DO see a link between chronic cannabis use and lung cancer, it's going to be linked to the fucking SHIT that's getting sprayed on it so that the mites won't munch through its bag appeal...
This is what cashcroppers and even a lot of people who are growing for dispensaries are using! So definitely look into organically grown weed if you are sensitive to chemicals.

And for us growers, don't use any of that shit on your plants past the end of week 2 of flower, or no less than SIX WEEKS from harvest.

I've heard and seen people spray dry brick weed cannabis with stuff like Windex to increase the weight.

Certain foods may also add to nausea, I can't drink milk and then smoke herb.
I developed lactose intolerance during puberty. So I don't do the whole milk thing anymore. Cheese, cream, butter and stuff is okay with other foods.

Some herb, normally bottom of the barrel street weed makes my mouth water something fierce and sometimes causes me to vomit. Rough, nasty tasting smoke. Usually I just ate something and then smoked within 30min of eating.

^It makes your mouth water? Did you get any really intense hallucinogenic effects too?

Thanks for the water suggestion, and the meditation; they both help decently!

When the body senses that regurgitation is imminent, extra saliva will excrete to help protect your mouth from the acids that come up. It's a good warning sign to quickly grab a trashcan or something to use to vomit in.

That sensation of rushing saliva is really weird.

Not quite sure what you mean by hallucinogenic effects. I just felt really sick/like crap until I vomited. No distortion in auditory or visual senses.

Most street weed doesn't have a pleasant taste and is at best sickening when said taste goes to your tummy.

Smoking out of a clean pipe should help.
I notice the thick heavy tar taste my smoke gets when being smoked out of a "dirty" pipe isn't pleasant also. :twocents:

I suffer from nausea everyday its part of the disease I have,mmj helps with the nausea alot, except every once in awhile it will make me more nauseous
not sure why must be a reaction to something in my system. sure wish I knew how to stop it, or what its reacting to ?? this is one reason why we need cannabis testing done.

[grinmore]

I'm not sure if you mean suffering from nausea straight after you smoke your first bowl, or if you mean feeling sick after you've smoked too much in one long sitting. Thats only if you are obtaining the medicinal value of mmj through smoking...

I've read something somewhere that says smoking too much causes decreased blood pressure (hypotension?) which might make you feel sick and dizzy. sometimes it might be the smoke irritation in your throat...

me and my friends tend to refer to it as just greening out...

nothing much you can do till its over i guess...the chemicals are in your system already hehe maybe drink some water chill out a bit

ps.dontttttt drink then smoke...unless you're used to it
"beer before grass, you're on your ass"
just thought i'd add that in case you are

hope you figure out whats wrong soon!:thumbsup:

^Yea! It's after being "too high".

ahhhhhhhhhhhh ok, that kinda nausea... yeah I've experienced that a couple of times.

Once I puked after the very first hit of weed..... I was way too anxious to smoke to calm my nerves after my car was totalled (I was sober the whole day, and accident wasn't my fault). I took a super huge hit... smoke was so thick and HOT and was like a shock to my mouth and throat, it triggered my gag reflex and I vomitted a tiny bit. Didn't make me sick, it was just a reflex. Never experienced that ever again, was very weird.
